The Metro Nashville school board meets tonight to discuss its teacher dismissal process.

For the first time, a low teacher performance score was used as one justification in a discussion earlier this month on whether to fire a teacher. She was not dismissed, but an official later said the system is poised to use those scores in the firing process.
